#5 I keep thinking: "Can you imagine Iran with a nuclear weapon?" Instead of a regional conflict, the possibility exists for a widespread nuclear war.

#7 Need a disease that affects the khat crop. All sides there are addicted to it. Removing it should put the addicts (most Yemeni men) into deep depression.

#8 Can't remember the name of Yemen's former president for life but Champ got rid of him, didn't he? So isn't this just one more case where he's gotten rid of a "bad guy/dictator", in the name of democracy of course, only to see the country fall apart? But don't worry, his new friends the Iranians will bring stability.

#9 Leave the khat alone. Let em fight like hell and keep killing each other. If we are gonna help a country, then make it one worth helping.
